We've been at peak oil and climate change for the last hundred or so years. People like you sound like Jehovah Witnesses who claimed that the world was ending and Jesus was coming back real soon in the 18th century. They still claim so even after 200 years of it never happening.
It is all designed to scare people and bilk them out of their money.
Peak oil conspiracy theorists own oil stock and promote peak oil to scare people and drive up the cost of oil as a result of them consuming it even more like it will run out soon.\
Climate change conspiracy theorists not only own oil stock but also sell carbon credits to make even more money off the people they scare. A lot of the climate change solutions they claim to sell, actually use more CO2 than oil and those carbon credits are just paper and they plant the same tree over thousands of time and waste energy and time but bilk people out of their money.
GNUCash can export to QIF format which Quickbooks can use. So just give your accountant the QIF data file via a CDR or DVDR like you would have using Quickbooks.
I guess you don't know what International Data File Format Standards really are, do you, much less know how a computer works?
Wide acceptance, hard to track who uses GNUCash because it cannot be tracked by sales receipts. But I know of many small businesses in my area that use it.
Major company, hah Slashdot you are using it is built with open source software and it isn't a major company. FOSS software doesn't need major companies, the community supports it. But companies like IBM support FOSS software like Linux and GNUCash and OpenOffice.Org is that major enough for you?
Support, yes tons of it if you know how to read manuals and FAQS, which obviously you don't.
Training availability and costs, most GNUCash training is free over the Internet in Wiki sites and PDF files. Books are written on it as well.
Accountants recommendation, accountants recommended and gave support to X-Accountant which GNUCash is based on and existed before Quickbooks.
3rd Party integration, if you read the FAQs and Manual, you'll know it integrates with OfficeOffice.org very well as Excel and other software, as well as has an API that programmers can follow to write plugins.
Next time do your own homework before you dis a FOSS software.
I used to download Linux ISO files directly from FTP or web sites.
Nothing upset me more than downloading an ISO only to find out that after I burned it to CD/DVD, it had CRC errors and random lockups during an install.
After BitTorrent with error correcting, the problem was solved. It works for other things as well.
Commercial software companies can offer ISO downloads via BitTorrent trackers and send the install CD Key via email. That way customers just burn the CD/DVD and install the key they got in email.
Some thing with media files, download via BitTorrent enter an unlock key you get via email when you bought it.
Business are stupid if they ignore the benefits of BitTorrent.
Even piracy doesn't hurt that much as most people want to try the software before they buy it. It is like kicking the tires before buying a car and taking it out for a test drive before signing the papers to buy it.
It is debatable if GNUCash is not adequate for most SMBs. Most SMBs don't need that much accounting that Quickbooks offers. Besides what other Accounting software exists for Linux? I don't think he really knows what GNUCash really is, which is why I linked to it so he can RTFM.
Not only that but Tony Stark used Stark technology in SHIELD, the raft, the cube, and other government buildings that got infected with a Skrull virus including his Iron Man armor, which gave him seizers and made him throw up. Stark should have used Linux or Macs instead of Windows, but oh well. In using Windows, Stark did more damage than the Skrulls did.:)
That is why Marvel invented the X-Men, they are mutants born with the X-Factor gene that gives them super powers. Stan Lee got tired of gamma rays, cosmic rays, radioactive spider bites, etc. It made it a lot better to write if one is born with that gene and it activates when they reach adolescence.
Stan Lee did Iron Man on a bet that he couldn't take a rich guy and turn him into a super hero using technology instead of super powers. So he used Tony Stark's genius and money to invent the Iron Man armor. So Stan based Tony Stark on Howard Hughes.
I lost a lot of email using Outlook and PST files for backups. After reinstalling Windows from scratch and trying to import the PST files into the new Outlook, 9 times out of 10 it couldn't import the email. That is why I switched to Thunderbird which has better success of backing up email files and importing them after a RRR (Reboot Reformat Reinstall).
his wife and family asked me to get into his Yahoo account and ICQ account. There was a secret answer that either resets the password or reveals the password. This was in 1999 so maybe security has changed. The user sets the secret answer. His was the original middle name of his mother. His family gave me a copy of his birth certificate and I got the answer off of it and got into his account on Yahoo and gave the password to his wife and reset his ICQ password and gave it to his wife as well. We couldn't find anything that triggered the suicide. But on his computer the police found in his web cache that he visited web sites about suicide and got an idea from one of them to use a shotgun on himself. He bought the shotgun, and left a credit card receipt in the box, according to his wife who told me what the police found.
He was a brilliant C++ programmer and I had forwarded emails to him about jobs, and found that a year's worth of job possibilities and recruiter email hadn't been opened up and looked at by him. He just moved it to a different folder. Had he responded to any of them, his chances of finding another job would have been better.
I'd explain more but it is too painful to talk about. There were alcohol and drug related abuses as well in his life. He drank a whole bottle of vodka before killing himself. He ignored phone calls and emails for months, and I couldn't contact him.
Oh yeah if he uses Firefox, there is a reveal passwords option in the tools/options/security/show passwords box. You might be able to see what passwords he used, unless he wiped them out and also cleared his password history.
Hans tried to represent himself, he used the "Geek" defense and it failed. He should have at least paid for a lawyer or used a public defender who would have advised him to STFU as he didn't know what he was talking about and only made his case look worse.
It is like Richard Dawkins trying to debate theology, or George W. Bush trying to pronounce words correctly, or Charles Mansion trying to run the NAACP, or Adolph Hitler trying to run a Jewish Temple. It just does not make sense, and they are better off letting someone else not them do the job.

So you need a license to drive a car or carry a gun, but not to have children?
Is the lead scientist on this project named Zefram Cochrane?
It sounds a lot like Amiga Anywhere which is a new platform that developers can use to write games for mobile phones.
In 1988 the Macintosh II series copied a lot of features from the 1985 Amiga 1000 computer. History repeats itself.
it is in how you use it.
These people disagree with you:
AAXNet
Slashdot
About.com
But then you've proved yourself to be a shill for Quickbooks. Why should anyone listen to you?
as in Pirate Booty or Booties plural.

You can hire Maddox to be your spokesperson.
If Orion is Greek Myth in origin, isn't it public domain?
:)
What next, Onion Bankcorp, because that is how I read the article the first time I read it.
The source is here eat it fanboy!
You said there are no alternatives to Quickbooks, Peachtree is one such alternative.
OneSource vs. Quickbooks and Peachtree.
Top seven commercial accounting software packages for SMBs:
1. BusinessVision 32 (Best Software)
2. Small Business Manager (Microsoft)
3. M.Y.O.B (M.Y.O.B. Software)
4. Peachtree Complete Accounting 2004 (Best Software)
5. QuickBooks Pro 2003 (Intuit)
6. Simply Accounting (Best Software)
7. Vision Point 2000 (Best Software)
I guess Peachtree doesn't ring any bells? My old accountant used to use it a lot and loved it for SMBs.
The list of free and open source financial software at Wikipedia.
Ever get tired of being wrong?

I know what a SMB is, and I answered his stupid questions here.
Obviously you never used GNUCash or read any FAQs or manuals either.
I guess you never read Slashdot?
Cost advantage, at some time you will need the Quickbooks Pro $199 version and that Amazon.com coupon expired.
Ease of use, both Quickbooks and GNUCash have a user friendly GUI. Have you actually ever used GNUCash?
Payroll, RTFM about Payroll obviously you never read the manual, n00b!
Taxes, GNUCash uses the EU term VAT and the FAQ covers accounting questions including tax questions and GNUCash supports taxes.
Wide acceptance, hard to track who uses GNUCash because it cannot be tracked by sales receipts. But I know of many small businesses in my area that use it.
addons are covered in the FAQs Customizing and The Plugins development page.

RTF FAQs! If the bank uses CSV, QIF, or OFX formated file uploads, it does support online banking. You really need to RTFM before you bash FOSS.

got any fresh ones?
How much did Intuit pay you to post that?
Ever heard of it? GNUCash anyone, anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?
